WHAT’S NEW

The following changes have been made in the current update (2018.3):

Added 2D Profile strategy (similar to Fusion 360). #8863

Added support for pecking for Turning Profile. You can use this feature to break the chips. #8835

Added support for both ways Adaptive Clearing. When both ways is enabled you can set a separate load and feedrate for the opposite cutting direction. You can use this feature to reduce machining time further when roughing depending on the material you are machining. The main cutting direction (normally Climb) will be the preferred cutting direction but the opposite direction will be used when the alternative non-engaging stay down linking would be estimated to be longer. #8734

Added support for back cutting (used for Sandvik PrimeTurning) for Turning Profile. #8946

Added Flow strategy. #8296

Improved stock simulation of simultaneous multi-axis toolpath. #9187

Show number of holes being machined for Drill. #8221

Fixed issue when selecting a tool from different operation in the tool library did not use the desired feedrates and speeds. #9235

Known Issues

If you cancel a rename action in the CAM browser, or accept a rename that doesn’t make a change, you may get into a state where further browser actions (e.g., right-click) menu do not work. To get out of this situation, just press ESC again. #9282

Follow the instructions to download and launch the installer. Temporary extraction is to your temp folder. Operating system errors regarding very long path names can occur if the temporary location is nested too many levels deep.

If the installer does not launch, browse to the folder where the files were extracted, and double-click setup.exe.
